26:1	As snow in summer, and as raine in haruest: so honour is not seemely for a foole.
26:2	As the bird by wandring, as the swallow by flying: so the curse causelesse shall not come.
26:3	A whip for the horse, a bridle for the asse; and a rod for the fooles backe.
26:4	Answere not a foole according to his folly, lest thou also be like vnto him.
26:5	Answere a foole according to his folly, lest hee be wise in his owne conceit.
26:6	He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, cutteth off the feete, and drinketh dammage.
26:7	The legges of the lame are not equall: so is a parable in the mouth of fooles.
26:8	As hee that bindeth a stone in a sling; so is hee that giueth honour to a foole.

26:15	The slothfull hideth his hand in his bosome, it grieueth him to bring it againe to his mouth.
26:16	The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceit, then seuen men that can render a reason.
26:17	He that passeth by, and medleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the eares.
26:18	As a mad man, who casteth firebrands, arrowes, and death:
26:19	So is the man that deceiueth his neighbour, & sayth, Am not I in sport?
26:20	Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth.
26:21	As coales are to burning coales, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
26:22	The words of a tale-bearer are as woundes, and they goe downe into the innermost parts of the belly.
26:23	Burning lips, and a wicked heart, are like a potsheard couered with siluer drosse.
26:24	Hee that hateth, dissembleth with his lips, and layeth vp deceit within him.
26:25	When he speaketh faire, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart.
26:26	Whose hatred is couered by deceit, his wickednesse shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
26:27	Whoso diggeth a pit, shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will returne vpon him.
26:28	A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it, and a flattering mouth worketh ruine.


26:1	As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole.
26:2	As the sparowe by flying, and the swallow by flying escape, so the curse that is causeles, shall not come.
26:3	Vnto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a bridle, and a rod to the fooles backe.
26:4	Answer not a foole according to his foolishnes, least thou also be like him.
26:5	Answere a foole according to his foolishnes, least he be wise in his owne conceite.
26:6	He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, is as he that cutteth off the feete, and drinketh iniquitie.

26:8	As the closing vp of a precious stone in an heape of stones, so is he that giueth glory to a foole.

26:10	The excellent that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole and rewardeth the transgressers.
26:11	As a dog turneth againe to his owne vomit, so a foole turneth to his foolishnes.
26:12	Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him.
26:13	The slouthfull man sayth, A lyon is in the way: a lyon is in the streetes.
26:14	As the doore turneth vpon his hinges, so doeth the slouthfull man vpon his bed.
26:15	The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe to his mouth.
26:16	The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason.
26:17	He that passeth by and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto him, is as one that taketh a dog by the eares.
26:18	As he that faineth himselfe mad, casteth fire brands, arrowes, and mortall things,
26:19	So dealeth the deceitfull man with his friend and sayth, Am not I in sport?
26:20	Without wood the fire is quenched, and without a talebearer strife ceaseth.
26:21	As ye cole maketh burning coles, and wood a fire, so the contentious man is apt to kindle strife.
26:22	The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
26:23	As siluer drosse ouerlayde vpon a potsheard, so are burning lips, and an euill heart.
26:24	He that hateth, will counterfaite with his lips, but in his heart he layeth vp deceite.
26:25	Though he speake fauourably, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart.
26:26	Hatred may be couered by deceite: but the malice thereof shall be discouered in the congregation.
26:27	He that diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it shall returne vnto him.
26:28	A false tongue hateth the afflicted, and a flattering mouth causeth ruine.


26:1	Like as snowe is not mete in sommer, ner rayne in haruest, euen so is worshipe vnsemely for a foole.
26:2	Lyke as the byrde & the swalowe take theyr flyght & fle here & there, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shall not lyght vpon a man.
26:3	Unto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, & a rodde to the fooles backe.
26:4	Geue not the foole an answere after his foolyshnesse, lest thou become lyke vnto him:
26:5	but make the foole an answere to his foolyshnesse, lest he be wyse in his awne conceate.
26:6	He is lame of his fete, yee droncken is he in vanyte, that committeth eny message to a foole.
26:7	Lyke as in a lame man his legges ar not equall, euen so is a parable in the fooles mouth.
26:8	He that setteth a foole in hie dignite, that is euen as yf a man put a stone in a slynge.
26:9	A parable in a fooles mouth is lyke a thorne that prycketh a droncken man in the hande.
26:10	A man of experience discerneth all thinges wel: but he that putteth the fole to silence endeth the stryfe.
26:11	Lyke as the dogg turneth agayne to his vomyte, euen so a foole beginneth hys folyshnesse agayne a fresh.
26:12	If thou seest a man that is wyse in his awne conceate, there is more hope in a foole then in hym.
26:13	The slouthfull sayeth: there is a lyon in the waye, & a lyon in the myddest of the stretes.
26:14	Lyke as the dore turneth aboute vpon the henges, euen so doth the slouthfull welter him selfe in his bedd.
26:15	The slouthfull body thrusteth his hande into hys bosome, and it greueth hym to put it agayne to his mouth.
26:16	The slogarde thinketh him selfe wyser, then seuen men that sytt & teach.
26:17	Who so goeth by & medleth wt other mens stryfe he is lyke one that taketh a dogge by the eares.
26:18	Lyke as a madd man that castith fyre brandes, and shoteth deadly arowes and dartes euen so doth a dissembler wt his neyghboure.
26:19	And then sayth he I dyd it but in sporte.
26:20	Where no wodd is, there the fyre goeth out: Euen so where the tale betrayer is taken awaye, there the strife ceaseth.
26:21	Coles kyndle heate, & wodd the fyre: euen so doth a brauling felowe stere vp variaunce.
26:22	A taleberars wordes are lyke men that stryke with hammers, but they pearse the inwarde partes of the body.
26:23	Uenymous lyppes and a wycked herte, are lyke a potsherde couered with syluer drosse.
26:24	And enemye shalbe knowen by his talkyng, & in the meane season he ymagyneth myschefe,
26:25	but when he speaketh fayre, beleue him not, for there are seuen abhominacions in his herte.
26:26	Who so kepeth euell will, secretly to do hurte, his malyce shalbe shewed before the whole congregacyon.
26:27	Who so dyggeth vp a pytt, shall fall therin: & he that weltreth a stone, shall stomble vpon it him selfe.
26:28	A dyssemblinge tonge hateth one that rebuketh hym, and a flatterynge mouth worcketh myschefe.
